In safari not in firefox while on certain websites such as google search, google news, washington post etc. this annoying feature appears in upper left hand. I tried restarting computer, also shutting down safari and restarting safari..
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Hi! Open Safari - Preferences - Extensions. Turn all the extensions off and then try turning them on one by one. Maybe this is an extension that causes the issue.
Also, try these steps:
Go to Safari menu (At the very top right side of your screen next to Apple icon), choose "Quit Safari"
press "Shift" button and while holding this button on your keyboard single click on the Safari icon on your Dock.
Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - Remove All Website Data.
Open the Go menu with Option (Alt) key pressed - Library - locate Safari folder and move it to your desktop. Restart your Mac, open Safari and delete the folder from your desktop.
Thank you for help. Three hours later, after searching Safari preferences and other failed maneuvers, it seems to have spontaneously disappeared. Never had this blue dot before, do not know if I or whatever I did caused it. Also do not have a clue as to its disappearance.
I got the blue flashing back. You were right! It was my extension. Namely Curiyo is the culprit. Thank you.
